she is beautiful (gold)

I caught her shadow in Autumn
camouflaged in amber
grappling at elusive strands of sanity

I wished to wrap her in December
where summer could warm her heart
and remind her of beauty
waiting at her fingertips

yet she was quite content
to live in obscurity

while she was caught in Autumn…

I longed to see her flourish in Spring
